Brestova,
a tiny village in the eastern coast of Istria, is located 5 km north
of the abandoned medieval village of Plomin with its bay and south of
Ucka Mountain ridge.

Brestova is one of the rare
settlement on this part of the shore that has remained undeveloped
and very sparsely populated because of the Ucka mountain massif that
falls steeply toward the sea-coast.

To reach the Brestova
ferry port take the winding road that heads down the sea from the old
one leading to Opatija. This is a departure point for Jadrolinija's
ferries to Porozina on the island of Cres. The ride takes about half
and hour, but sometimes at the heigh season drivers have to queue for
hours to get on board.

ACCOMMODATION

If
you happen to be late for the last ferry there is always a
possibility to find accommodation in private rooms and apartments in
this small place.

CHURCH of SAINT CATHERINE

Close
to Brestova, in a hamlet Baći there is a small church of St.
Catherine where you can see a pretty altarpiece made by Valentin
Lukas.
